Sri Lankan Captain Angelo Mathews said that he wished his former captain Kumar Sangakkara was in the team, and had even asked him if he could come out of retirement and join them.
When asked if he would ask Kumar Sangakkara to come back from retirement, he smiled and replied in jest: "I always asked him that!"
"Even a couple days ago, I was asking him can you come and play for us, you know, in this game. He has been in tremendous form (for Surrey in County). He has been in form ever since he started playing, to be honest."
"Yes, he (Sangakkara) has had a dream career, and it's unfortunate that we don't have him anymore, but he is always willing to help us. He is always having chats with us on how we should play on these conditions, especially, it is his home ground. And he has had a lot of chats to all the younger players, including myself," added Mathews.

Bowlers without ideas and unable to create opportunities Don't know why Gunaratne was not bowled just 3 overs. Don't know whats going in the mind of Angelo. With all these Sanga n Mahela can only feel sad like us.

Thanks to SL Batsman and must be with lots of advice from Sanga about the pitch where he has scored over 6 century SL may get in to the Semi if they Beat Pakistan.

if someone comes to team from retirement the best choice is Arjuna. Sanga never helped the team and won the match single handed. but arjuna has done that many a times

If Arjuna comes, we need to bring someone additionally to carry him ..LOL..
